Britteni's notebook entry: May 23, 2011 If anyone has heard of the tornado's in the U.S, you know how bad it is over here. Here, we call them: twisters, tornados, funnels, or cyclones. So. For someone who lives in the Southern U.S, I'm kinda interested in the word for "tornado" in other languages, if there is one. Romanized and Normally written please.
